	The problem is that the distrib-dirs target in /usr/src/etc/Makefile is
doing rude things in $DISTDIR/usr/share. At the time I felt it was safe
to just call that target because 'make installworld' does the exact same
thing when it runs. Have you actually done a 'make installworld' on this
system? I'm confused about that bit. 

	In any case, the purpose of doing 'make distrib-dirs' in that part of
the script is to create the proper directories and permissions on them
in the destination tree. I can get away with doing just the mtree for
BSD.root.dist, so that's the actual change I'm going to make. 

Thanks for bringing this to my attention,

Doug
